So, reading the story Jesus got busted on Tuesday and crucified on Wednesday. He was then tossed into Joseph's tomb. Joseph stole the body and ate it because he wanted to gain eternal life like Jesus had told the crowd about. Now, Wednesday evening was the first day, Thursday evening the second day, Friday evening the third day. Jesus then popped out of the tomb on the weekly Sabbath (Saturday evening). Remember, the Jewish day starts at sundown and ends at the next sundown.
Say 6:00 PM on Friday.
All day Saturday, maybe.
Tomb empty on Sunday morning. Be generous, say 6:00 AM on Sunday.
1.5 days.
Anyway, here's a link that covers the BS in detail if you want to read it. http://biblelight.net/pasover.htm
[url=http://biblelight.net/pasover.htm][/url]Don't forget the calendar change, leap years, number of days in a month, even the number of days in the week. Like Paul said, make up your own holidays and don't sweat the small stuff. It's all imaginary anyway.
